I have always been fascinated with tamales..having seen them on tv but never tasted one before....I should try it out one day, if there's an opportunity. I love Chinese dumplings!

Sorry if I made ya squeamish... I have never made them alone before, but I have helped with bits and pieces of the process. The entire ordeal takes at least half a day, if not more! It's definitely an activity suited for retirement :) Ryan - You should visit my mom, she has a bunch in her freezer! Thanks Wendy! Sorry if I made ya squeamish…

There is a shrimp wonton in Daly City 99 Ranch, which was close to where I used to live. Their wontons are all shrimp, but not as good as those in Hong Kong, but quite OK. I have yet to find one in SoCal. ;) Hi Selina, thanks for leaving me a comment about the wontons. There is a shrimp wonton in Daly City 99 Ranch, which was close to where I used to live.

The ones I eat have a slightly different shape though: http://www.beachloverkitchen.com/2008/03/pork-zhong-zhi-bamboo-dumpling.html I eat these all the time too. I didn't even know you were supposed to eat them at a certain time of the year until I was in college. These are perfect for me. Tasty, cheap, nutritious?, and easy (to reheat). Steam is a good way to thaw them too. These are so good! The ones I eat have a slightly different shape though:

I would love to try the dried shrimp. Do you think you will try your hand at perfecting these? Sounds like hard, but rewarding work and it is wonderful your family sends you home with a great care package! Wow, I think those might be more time consuming than tamales, but these look delicious.
